Almost any object would simply be destroyed at this depth by the enormous pressure. And this is why youre gonna throw the diamond in there. Diamond is one of the hardest substances on the planet.
Youve come to the Western Pacific, East of the Philippines. You wont miss the Mariana Trench, because it has a huge shape of a crescent. This gutter that looks like a scar on the earth's crust stretches 1, 500 miles long. The Mariana Trench was formed by the junction of two tectonic plates.
